TOM WATSON ON
REGISTRATION LAW
(Tom Watson in Jeffersonian.)
The registration law not only
does not do anything "automat¬
ically,” but requires the voter
to go in person to the tax collect¬
or, take the oath, and sign his
name in the voters’ book.. Even
if the officer desired to 'register
the taxpayer, the law does not
permit him to do so.
Then the books close six
months before the election. As
The (Telegraph points out, all
men who come of ago after that
are shut out. Many young men
would cast their first votes next
October and November if the
"closed season” were three
months instead of six.
Section 5 of the registration
law requires that the registrars
shall deliver to the clerk of the
superior court a purged list of
the registered voters not later
than June 6.
Now, listen: Section 1 of the
primary elections law requires
that the primary shall be held
"not earlier than sixty days be¬
fore the general state election
in October.”
So, then, the purged lists must
be complete and in the clerks
hands not later than June 5,
while the primary cannot law¬
fully come off until August
The state elections are held, of
course, on the first Wednesday
in October.
Congressional elections on
Tuesday after the first Monday
in November.
Therefore, those purged and
competed lists' will lie idle and
useless in the clerk’s office two
months before the state primary,
and more than five months be¬
fore the November election
What does Mr. Hoke Smith
mean by telling the people that
his object in closing the books
six months ahead of the election
was to give the registrars time
to perfect the lists? Does he
not know that the registrars can¬
not lawfully touch those lists
after June 5?
The law itself fixes that as the
latest possible date on which the
registrars are to give the clerk
the purged list alphabetically
arranged.
These evasive, prevaricating
efforts to fool the voters and to
defend a bad feature of the law
are disgraceful.
Is Your Family Reading
“Worth While?"
'So much of current reading is
merely entertaining at best that
the question naturally arises, Is
it worth while? Your sons and
daughters are bound to read
something. They hunger for
stories which take them into the
,
•other half of the world—the
world of adventure, of valor, of
fortune-making. The problem
"fa to give them such reading
without putting into their hands
the literature that fa either silly
or demoralizing. The editors of
the The Youth's Companion be¬
lieve that a periodica! can be
made entertaining and
‘worthwhile,” and The
panion is conducted on that the¬
ory. And that fa one reason
why more than half a million
American families read it The
paper is safe, but not dull. Its
tales of adventure illustrate the
advantages of fortitude and self
reliance- Its stories of character
lay stress on the truth that
conduct fa never a mistake.
